ONLY TABASCO

ignoring 

the surge 

of carolina reaper

they wax weak 

rhetoric
in my tv glass

over a possible spread

of only 

tabasco

~

off camera

they are wringing 

their gesturing hands
in the champagne bathrooms

abdication high on the list

& then a jet 

to a billionaires compound

LOOK HOW FAR

and look how far we havent come

we
built
a
freedom prison
of
difficult privilege
and
tougher window shopping

in the overdue heart attack
of a gone goblin empire

where
everyday
is
optimistic
like rehab

like a cancer op

and sad as
flat champagne
